When I washed my hair tonight I figured I would try putting my head forward and let the hair fall forward and wash it that way. I thought it would get more of the stuff off the scalp and stimulate it more, rather than doing what I would usally do.
Usually I just keep my head up and the hair falls like it usally does, and I wash it carefully that way.
I still washed carefully tonight but I had a LOT of hair come out and get caught in the thing I stick in the drain to catch them. A big wad or ball of hair, much more than usaull. Maybe 5 to 6 times more, ALOT.
What does this mean? How much should come out?
How much comes out when you all wash your hair?
PS I always loose more when I wash it, than normal brushing.
You've got several hears that have collectively decided, "Let's beat it!"
;)
Well, I've personally never heard of any "official" report specifying how much should come out. I mean, one can't exactly predict when hair will come out for anyone. It all depends on your hair.
Ten, twenty strands maybe? Sometimes more. I've yet to wash my hair and not have any hair come out. Some always does. No worries. It's just my head's way of ridding itself of all the damaged/broken hair I've amassed.
Keep in mind, unless male pattern baldness runs in your family, the loss of hair while you brush and/or shower is really nothing to concern yourself with. The average human head has a LOT of hair on it, and it ALL grows back.
I am concerned because it was so many more than usual, I don't think I have ever seen so much come out at once. My hair still seems ok no empty patches or anything, but I just don't ever remember so many comming out.
Perhaps you should seek advice from a professional stylist then?
